WMP11b2: DVD behavior

From: mbg <a@xxxxx>

I've configured WMP11 not to play DVDs in the "File Types" options tab,
but when I insert a DVD while WMP11 is running in the background, it
pops up with a full-screen window to play the DVD.

IMO, a couple of things would be preferable:

- if it is not configured to associate with DVDs, it shouldn't autoplay
a DVD when WMP is running in the background

- an option to prevent WMP11 from going into full-screen mode for DVDs,
regardless of its autoplay settings

Thanks,
mbg.
